I did a range test on my MG Windsor EV: My observations

What I observed was, in highway if you maintain speed of 80 it gives better mileage, but as you cross 95 it eats up the battery quite fast

BHPian sbs recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Today I did a 100->1% battery usage drive on my Windsor Essense. The total distance I could cover is 237km. Full driving was on eco + heavy recovery mode(except the last 5% where i went to eco+). AC was On full time(21-23 C+Fanspeed of 2-4), android phone connected full time. FM/Music was on for half the distance.

160 km was on Highway with a speed maintained between 95 to 110 km (in cruise mode). Remaining 80Km was in city traffic and had to face bumper to bumper traffic multiple times.

What I observed was, in highway if you maintain speed of 80 it gives better mileage, but as you cross 95 it eats up the battery quite fast. If I had maintained a highway speed of 80, car would have given 15-25 km more.

I do not have any sun blinds/tints installed on the windows and temperature on highway during made me increase AC fan speed and lower temperature.

So during proper summer months it could be an issue, planning to install sun tints soon. This can reduce AC usage and increase the mileage possibly.

Then I did a full recharge at one go on my home installed 7.5KW charger. It took me 6 hours and 10 mins to be back at 100% charge. It took 43KWh units, I have a sub meter installed at the charger so can measure the units used during charging.
